Nos Iles
From theislandwiki
Nos Iles - A Symposium on the Channel Islands was published in 1944 by the Channel Islands Study Group, whilst the islands were still under German Occupation. Its aim was to inform a wider audience on the islands, and present some ideas on the challenges facing the Islands following liberation, and how they may be overcome.
